Overview

The Country Cooperation Strategy for WHO and Somalia 2021–2025 reflects the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) vision and strategic framework to guide the Organization’s work in Somalia with the overarching aim of promoting health, keeping the country safe, and serving the vulnerable. It responds to the national health and development agenda and identifies a set of agreed joint priorities for WHO’s collaboration with Somalia. The Country Cooperation Strategy (CCS) facilitates the implementation of WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work (GPW13) 2019–2023 with a focus on the country’s needs and priorities. The CCS also brings together the strength of WHO support at country, regional and headquarter levels in a coherent manner, in efforts to meet national health goals by demonstrating the measurable impact of the work of WHO in Somalia

These four strategic priorities are: 1. Advance UHC by accelerating the PHC-led recovery with a view to supporting the goals of integrated health services. 2. Enhance health security by promoting emergency preparedness, surveillance and response using an all-hazard and one-health approach. 3. Promote healthier populations and well-being using multisectoral approaches to address the social determinants of health and risk factors. 4. Strengthen health governance using the Global Action Plan for Healthy Lives and Well-being for All to support joint and collective actions to achieve the health-related SDG goals.
